Garry Shandling's Top Shelf Stature In American Comedy Is ...

________________________________________________________________________________________________

... Beyond Debate

But this page is not
so much about Shandling
as it is about
a comment he made
during a panel discussion
with the cast of
The Larry Sanders Show

The cast appeared on stage
at the Bing Theater
on the campus of
Los Angeles County Museum of Art
 
The year was ≈ 1996
 
I was in the audience 
when Mr. Shandling said
BOLD "Martin Mull is
the funniest person alive"
 
But 
died last month 
and I have a difficult time
disagreeing with
Shandling's statement

To say
Mr. Mull was multi-faceted
is to say a caterpillar
has more legs
than anyone reading this

The bottom of this page
 is a sample of
Martin's museum-worthy

Additional pages will highlight
his other talents that made people laugh
on too many levels
to mention

On behalf of Mr. Mull,
Mr. Oliverio wishes
Happy Googling
to anyone reading this
